Also, I've added Dough, Joe Anthony and RT as observers. RT is partners with Shawn, Joe will be helping David and I added Dough because if he's around I hope he stops in to chat.

Selfishly I wish we'd start tomorrow or Wed. (only work in the evenings Mon-Wed) come Thurs - Sun. it's 7am to 7pm

I did just get back from Walmart and got one of these straight talk phones, so hopefully it will enable me to keep up. If not I always have Joe.
One drawback I've learned is they tell me I can't use the straight talk phone as a "hot spot" in connection w/ ipad. Seems unfair, they advertise it as unlimited data.
Anyways, good luck everyone, look fwd to chatting w/ y'all throughout this most excellent draft that KJ has created

Always be closing.

I think its gonna be Gus Bradley....Lovie Smith probably the backup plan to that.
for some reason, they are ignoring Jon Gruden but interviewed his bro today.
I would love to be third pick...can we trade spots? lol

I'm hoping against hope you don't steal McCutcheon from me. I'd hate to be left with Trout as a consolation prize.BK METS wrote:Trying to figure out who I should pick

If I were you I'd let everyone know that you're the man to be feared by grabbing Cabrera with that pick. Set the tone my friend.BK METS wrote:Oh Dang... forgot about Trout.

Re: MLB Contract League VII
Now that I'm looking over the list of candidates for my #6 pick, I see 5 guys I'd like to have. Wish I would've ponied up the $50 FAAB to have locked one down. Now I have to hope for slippage.

You might have to bring that old fashioned hopper you use to select names to Vegas with you, KJ. I've been selected 13th and 14th the past two years.
I have a pool at the Bellagio right outside the ballrooms that I would like it meet.

Well, if we're talking algorithms I'll just contract the services of Lord Zola for an hour to crack the code for me!KJ Duke wrote:Must be something in the algorithm - maybe try a name change next year?Ando wrote:You might have to bring that old fashioned hopper you use to select names to Vegas with you, KJ.

Re: MLB Contract League VII
Maybe I should open up the draft room now! I'm getting itchy to draft, or least chat. I could just keep the clock on pause.
Re: MLB Contract League VII
we've started early before.......wouldnt be the first time
Re: MLB Contract League VII
I changed the start date to tonight, of course no one needs to pick until Thursday morning but we can get in a little trash talk before the official beginning.76erfan wrote:we've started early before.......wouldnt be the first time

Go for it. Alan's itchin' to start us off by grabbing MCab at the bargain basement price of $210. I don't know what I'll do if he steals him from me.KJ Duke wrote:Maybe I should open up the draft room now! I'm getting itchy to draft, or least chat. I could just keep the clock on pause.

Re: MLB Contract League VII
Day late and a dollar short, unfotunately I had some log in problems here over the weekend and couldn't get my name here in time. If another contracts league would form, let me know. So who's the first pick, A-Rod? Most expensive contract, that makes him the best, right?

Trout, McCutchen, Stanton, Braun so far.TOXIC ASSETS wrote:Day late and a dollar short, unfotunately I had some log in problems here over the weekend and couldn't get my name here in time.

We're putting out an APB on Mr. Ken "Bama" Norred. If anyone knows the whereabouts or can contact Bama to let him know his leaguemates in the MLBC are concerned about him please post here or text Commish. KJ
Bama was last seen partying w/ this lady while celebrating his beloved Crimson Tide's latest National Championship win over Notre Dame.
Perhaps we've seen the last of Bama

Maybe we should've used the FIFO method for draft selection.
